# 4 (for Joseph Wright of Derby, for this place)

I will edge out the pastoral,
excise the solemnity
& discard, repeat, discard
what is bark and brass

this new, vertical place
with it’s sedimentary
skyline, a crenellation
like stone teeth, irregular

I am the bird inside
the globe, time is
the pump, & soon
the air will be gone.
